Thanks

I've read countless articles, papers, websites and forum posts and would like to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge about chess engine programming. In particular however I would like to thank the following people:

Colin Frayn for his website on Computer Chess Programming Theory as starting point for my research and implementation.

Robert Hyatt for his paper on lockless transposition tables and his insight posted on the TalkChess.com forums.

The contributers to the Chess Programming Wiki.

Fritz Reul for his New Architectures in Computer Chess thesis.

Mikael Kilpeläinen for playing many man vs. machine matches against "The Monster".
